Your Body on Sugar | Healthy Nest Nutrition

Sugar is a Huge Problem

Blood sugar, also known as blood glucose, comes from the food you eat, namely carbohydrates, or carbs. Carbs are one of three macronutrients that all foods break down to: Carbs, Fats, Proteins.

Blood sugar is used for energy for the moment. Sugars that are left over, circulate in the system and are eventually stored in your fat cells for later use. Too much sugar circulating for too long can be harmful and can lead to weight gain. The more weight you gain, the less sensitive your body becomes to insulin. As a result, your blood sugar levels can rise. Eventually, insulin resistance and eventually type 2 diabetes may result.
